You might be THE online real estate mentor I've been unconsciously looking for. Your counsel is plain, straight, candid, and best of all, comes from real-world experience.I gave you a thumbs-up, and I'm subscribing.👍
That has been what I have said about rental property: If you make it appealing as appear as if you "care about it", you will attract and only sign quality tenants.
It was YOU. Not your management company. Manage your management company. You set the tone. Learned that from Jocko Willink and his application of extreme ownership. On a side note, this was super informative! Thank you for the looking glass into the experience you’ve had. I feel more prepared now going into a similar situation.
Great video! Id rather listen to slower explanations than the hyper fast talkers common today where I miss half of what's said: Your style enables me to absorb more info. Don't change a thing. Thanks Chandler!
Maybe maybe not. If the person renting is from the area or knows the area sometimes they can be a good tenant because they know the neighborhood and know how to keep safe and know the ins and out
Quick question. At this point, you have some properties and looking into another one. You still have bank loads right? 1. Is it normal to have multiple active loans for all your properties? Whats your perspective having multiple loans? One of my biggest fears is just having multiple loans, but I’m slowly starting to learn the concept of good loans 2. If you make a purchase and realize later that it’s a bad investment, given that you still owe a loan for said property, how do you go about getting rid of it?
Little late for a reply, 1) completely normal to have multiple active mortgages open. If your have your credentials aligned the bank will have no issue loaning you anything as long you can prove you can pay it back. 2) if you decide you made a bad decision On the property and no longer can hold tenants or afford to own it, you must sell the house yourself through dealing with closing costs Etc to get rid of it or you’d have to give it back to the bank
Have you ever thought of using Section 8 tenants for units that are not in the best areas you are guaranteed payment plus the tenants have to keep your unit or units up to a certain standard or they will lose their Section 8 voucher so even though it's not the best area they have to keep your unit decent
I’m so jealous… I own rentals but they are all cash flow negative since I went in for the appreciation. Since I’ve found this channel, I can hopefully do better on my next one.
I'd imagine places like Idaho, Ohio, etc have duplexes every where. How do you find a quality duplex / hackable house deal in super high market areas like SD Cali or SF Cali?
Hi Chandler, thanks for telling us about your mistakes so that we can learn from them too! I've got two questions. Do you or your management company approve the tenants? My management company won't approve anyone unless I've looked over the application and given them my approval. And second, in the case of that eviction, is it worth your time to sue the tenant after they've been evicted for lost rents, legal fees, and damage repair costs? I realize you would be unlikely to recover any money, but maybe the outstanding debt/judgment on their record would alert the next landlord they try to scam. Thx
Super helpful! I’m under contract for an owner occupied duplex now and a little nervous about tenants. I’ll make sure to save save save so I’m not stressing over the wrong tenant.

You were on point with all all the information which you provided. This has to be the BEST video/ advise seen or heard. I HOPE EVEYONE LISTENED CAREFULLY. ABSOLUTELY GREAT !! I must admit I'm not a huge fan of background checks. I've had tenants with the best of backgrounds and worst as a tenant. Advice, I view a potential tenant as a homeowner.

I know people always say that there is a great deal everywhere but I can assure you, there is no duplex for under 90k around where I live. Cheapest I can find is 140k.

Yeah this is my big fear....I saw a small property that I saw potential in, but my partner quickly told me that it was in a sketchy part of town and we were concerned about the quality of tenants we would get
Thank you for sharing. In shoddy parts of town some people with low income are great and want to take care of their home but often the opposite happens. Imagine renting to college students who party every weekend
You did ok. you got him back at closing lol. I usually dont haggle about a few bucks on a buyhold deal. you get that back once its rented. its principle though.
What would you do if duplexes in your area ( Florida ) are anywhere from 300,000 - 500,000 dollars? Is that even worth getting into at that point? For instance, if you could finance a 350,000 dollar duplex or even 400,000 as a first time home buyer... is that even worth doing?
I’m looking to get into this, but for 1/2 a duplex it’s over $300,000 and I live in northwest Indiana.. if they were going for 90k it would be much more manageable. Especially considering rent wouldn’t be more than $1,500
As a first time investor, would it matter if the first investment I purchase is a fourplex? I plan on going the FHA route. I was also wondering how your credit should look if I were to go through the FHA route?
I don't believe it is a right or wrong property type to begin investing; however, it is better to grow than to start large. Also, you know your personality, lifestyle and goals better than anyone else. Use these indicators to determine how to begin investing in real estate. As for credit score required for FHA, I believe it's 620. It is best to order your credit report from the three credit reporting agencies before applying for a loan. Go to www.annualfreecreditreport.com. By law, you are entitled to a free credit report from each agency once a year; and if you are denied credit, you can request a free copy from the agency used by the company that denied you credit. My first rental was a two family. I purchased it on a great land contract deal from seller who were longtime friends of my parents. Although the deal was sweet, my experience as a rental property owner was disastrous. I sure learned a lot from the experience though: what to do and what not to do. It took me ten years to get back to real estate investing. At that time, I purchase a single family from a business associate on a land contract with great terms. Now, I am looking to purchase more real estate at a larger scale.
it's really up to you and what you feel most comfortable doing. i'm in the same boat as you. plan on getting my first property next year after my apartment lease runs out and go the house-hacking route. currently weighing the pros and cons of going the duplex, triplex, or fourplex route.

For section * you have to apply for the higher rent usually 6 months prior to their anniversary date of contract. Usually what area is doing if rents are higher in area.
Chandler David Smith how about when they rent month to month do you just have a contingency in there to force the new lease on existing tenants I’m in a situation where I can buy 3 families with tenants on monthly does this happen when you negotiate or can you whatever you want once you close?
Hi Chandler, thanks for sharing your experience just subscribed! I am still looking into purchasing my first duplex rental property but i'm still kinda lost in some of the nuances throughout the process before making sure its a deal. - You mention that making the appearance is important to attract better tenants so how would you go about doing that. Do you get an additional loan ( traditional, hard money) to fix it up (i.e floors, walls, HVAC, etc.) or would you use your own money ? - Do you have your tenants sign a contract/agreement, if so, did you have a RE attorney draw this up ? Is their an excel sheet you use or can share, to make sure its a deal ? Appreciate the feedback!
@@raulfernandezjr5295 oh well that’s good. Hope it worked out for you. What did you end up doing for rehab budget? I was just gonna do a project loan through Home Depot.
AWESOME video and your content is seriously informative and incredibly entertaining but come on man… really? “This is 100% my managements fault.”?My dude, you OWN the properties and either employ or contract these folks out to do the management for you. There has to be some accountability there in who you’re allowing to handle the properties you own. Sure it’s not entirely your fault nor is it there’s but you should be regularly checking up on this stuff and also to some extent vetting and overseeing what they’re doing when a new tenant is about to come in. I know you said you didn’t throw anyone under but it sure as heck sounded like it… anyway again your content is incredible I watch all your stuff. I’ve learned a ton from you, but that kinda ticked me off lol you’re a seemingly humble and gracious dude so I guess that makes up for it!! Haha

Appreciate the honesty
Very nice video. On a attached side by side single level duplex subdivision, would you prefer to do strata title subdivision or torrens title on these 2 dwellings. What is pros and cons of each option from maintenance and after sale perspective. Some builders prefer to do Strata title ownership...is it because of CDC process instead of DA. From a investor perspective who plans to build these opportunity what is critical here?
Greetings from a Fellow Idaho Fallsers! Im looking to get into my FIRST rental property this year. Still learning as much as I can. Would love to buy you lunch and pick your brain!
Good people are hard to find . Who doesn't pay for their rent? That's crazy.
Charmaine Espeut very true!
How much is the mortgage a month??? With everything included ?
Hey Chandler, as an absolute beginner which video should I watch first
How much did you save up before you bought your first duplex?
informative. thank you Sir
Good speaker I watched straight through
How many dollars per hour were you making with your property? How many hours per week would you think or work on a property?
Between Meet Kevin and Chandler I feel like I've seen too many videos about the orgy tenants situation 🤷♂️
Hamham hahaha that’s fair
Great video, and great advice. Subbed.
How do you find a good property management company?
I’ll do a video on this soon!
Is it better to buy property or Bitcoin?
Awesome content, thanks!
This content is priceless.
Thank you for this video and ending it on an upside note :)
John of coarse! Thanks for watching and commenting!
So I'm planning to get my first duplex very soon. Just finished paying off one of my cars and want to start getting into buying property. I don't have a real estate license. Any tips for beginners?
Do you rent to section 8 is that how you bump up rents when you buy new property
greg harry no not usually. Are usually find a property that is way under rented and once the tenants lease is up then I’ll re-rent it for higher
For section * you have to apply for the higher rent usually 6 months prior to their anniversary date of contract. Usually what area is doing if rents are higher in area.
Chandler David Smith how about when they rent month to month do you just have a contingency in there to force the new lease on existing tenants I’m in a situation where I can buy 3 families with tenants on monthly does this happen when you negotiate or can you whatever you want once you close?
Hi Chandler, thanks for sharing your experience just subscribed! I am still looking into purchasing my first duplex rental property but i'm still kinda lost in some of the nuances throughout the process before making sure its a deal.
- You mention that making the appearance is important to attract better tenants so how would you go about doing that. Do you get an additional loan ( traditional, hard money)
to fix it up (i.e floors, walls, HVAC, etc.) or would you use your own money ?
- Do you have your tenants sign a contract/agreement, if so, did you have a RE attorney draw this up ?
Is their an excel sheet you use or can share, to make sure its a deal ?
Appreciate the feedback!
Did you ever get an answer from anyone regarding your question?
@@DavidReyes-yu1yp no but did some research to understand some of it
@@raulfernandezjr5295 oh well that’s good. Hope it worked out for you. What did you end up doing for rehab budget? I was just gonna do a project loan through Home Depot.
AWESOME video and your content is seriously informative and incredibly entertaining but come on man… really? “This is 100% my managements fault.”?My dude, you OWN the properties and either employ or contract these folks out to do the management for you. There has to be some accountability there in who you’re allowing to handle the properties you own. Sure it’s not entirely your fault nor is it there’s but you should be regularly checking up on this stuff and also to some extent vetting and overseeing what they’re doing when a new tenant is about to come in. I know you said you didn’t throw anyone under but it sure as heck sounded like it… anyway again your content is incredible I watch all your stuff. I’ve learned a ton from you, but that kinda ticked me off lol you’re a seemingly humble and gracious dude so I guess that makes up for it!! Haha
About to get my first duplex in Los Ángeles, hope it doesn’t become a big mistake 😅
Good luck bro. I'm currently saving for one in either LA or LB. Probably going to be another year before i purchase anything though as I'm planning on house hacking so want to find the right place to live
Thanks for being honest about everything!
Mike Ruiz thank you! Thanks for watching!
